Clarkston Schools Bond CHS Water Softener

Clarkston Community Schools is soliciting bids for a water softener replacement project at Clarkston High School as part of their 2016 Bond Projects. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid opportunity for prime contractors to install a new water softener system, with technical specifications and bidding documents prepared by GMB Architecture and Engineering. Key project details include a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for December 6, 2018, at the high school's main entry, with bid proposals due by 12:00 pm EST on December 18, 2018. Bidders must submit proposals either to the school district's administration building or the construction manager's office, with bids to be publicly opened at 2:00 pm EST on the same day. All proposals require a 5% bid bond or cashier's check for proposals exceeding $24,459, and contractors awarded contracts of $50,000 or more must provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Bidders must also submit sworn statements disclosing familial relationships with school board members and demonstrate compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any or all bids and select the proposal deemed most advantageous to the school district.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, bidding documents can be downloaded through Pipeline or reviewed at the construction manager's office. All proposals will remain firm for 60 days following submission. Though a specific budget range is not detailed in the available documentation, the requirement for bid bonds suggests the project has a minimum estimated value of $24,459. The project is located in Berrien County, Michigan, and is part of a broader bond-funded infrastructure improvement initiative for Clarkston Community Schools. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the specified requirements, including the submission of necessary sworn statements and adherence to bonding requirements.
